    Does Antarctica really need different time zones? Can’t the 12 people who live there just all agree that it’s time to fucking leave?

      As much as timezones are a pain (I’m a programmer who recently finished working on an international calendar for an app), I don’t think getting rid of timezones is a great idea. https://qntm.org/abolish

      I think a much better goal would be getting rid of daylight savings. THAT causes so much headache for little reason nowadays
